  			Six String Music 
From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_ 
By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith  
1994  
 
(intro:  D chords) 
 
 D 
Turn off the T.V.  
 D 
Turn off the crap  
 D 
Kick off your high heels  
 D 
Climb up in my lap  
 
Chorus:  
 
               Bm 
And I'll play music  
             A     D 
A song from me to you  
                   Bm 
Simple six string music  
          A      D 
A ballad or the blues  
 
No interruptions  
From the telephone  
Don't need call waitin'  
Just you and me alone  
 
Chorus:  
 
And my six string music (six string music)  
A song from me to you  
Simple six string music (six string music)  
A ballad or the blues  
 
        G                    D 
Oh I remember that night in Africa  
    G                         D 
My daughter and my little guitar  
 G               D 
Straddling the equator  
     G            A 
The king of Zanzibar  
       G                D 
Those shy black hidden faces  
             G                   D 
They didn't know me from Adam's cat  
         Bm 
But the words and the singin' 
 
And the people in a ring 
         G           Em        A 
And the whole night went like that  
 
(instrumental:  D chords) 
 
Now some folks like icing  
Some folks like cake  
Some swim in the ocean  
Some paddle in a lake  
 
Well you can get into Beethoven  
Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed  
But keep it simple stupid  
All we really need is  
 
Chorus:  
 
Six string music (six string music)  
A song from me to you  
Simple six string music (six string music)  
A ballad or the blues  
 
Six string music (six string music)  
Ain't no symphony  
It's just six string music (six string music)  
So elementary
